Cam-lem Processing: Materials Flexibility
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cut-then-stack paradigm of computer-aided manufacturing of laminated engineering materials (CAM-LEM) offers choice of feedstock material, ease of handling finely divided (and therefore sinterable) powders, and the ability to mix materials. This combination of features was exploited to process fluidic devices. CAM-LEM processing was used to render the Part in aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, and stainless steel.

This paper presents the recent redesign of a tangent-cutting machine for CAM-LEM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing of Laminated Engineering Materials). Our former 5-axis, serial-joint, open-chain mechanism for laser cutting has been reduced to two parallel, 2-axis kinematic chains and articulated optics. The redesign results in lower inertias, higher stiffnesses, and less calibration sensitivity to...
